Fig. 2From: Combined stimuli of cold, hypoxia, and dehydration status on body temperature in rats: a pilot study with practical implications for humansTime course of Tcore among different environmental conditions. Values are given as only means (n = 5 for each, a). Mean values of the area under the curve (AUC) with standard deviation (SD) among all conditions throughout the 24 h experimental period (b). Hypoxia significantly decreased the AUC irrespective of cold and dehydration (dashed black lines). In hypoxia, cold environment (10 °C) further decreased the AUC in both euhydration and dehydration conditions (solid gray lines). Dehydration affected the AUC only in both hypoxia and cold (solid black line)Back to article page
